Lowest Price Beurer PM 45 Heart Rate Monitor Watch


I bought this HRM to replace a Polar model, which was my second Polar. I have been disappointed in the Polar products due to the fact you need to buy a new chest strap with some of the earlier models (non replaceable batteries), and even the one with the replaceable battery in the chest strap stopped worked after on battery change. I've seen this complaint on other reviews of Polars.

I took advantage of the introduction of the Beurer models of HRM's to the states with the low price on Amazon, hoping to get a good product at a reasonable price. I did succeed at that, the Beurer PM 45 has great features for the price I paid (<$50). It has average HR, max HR, fit test, calories burned, lap tracking, and HR zones. The set up was pretty simple, except it puts the choice for units (British or Metric) later in the set up stages, so you have to guess at your weight in kg unless you go back.

I've used it for over a week on a daily basis, no problems so far. I am using another chest strap from another HR monitor right now since I think the battery in the Beurer is dead, I'll see later if that's true. It uses an Analog signal, so it's a little behind the times. That means if you are working out on a HR enabled machine, near other machines, you'll get interference, or your HR will show up in others' displays. Kind of embarrassing when the person next to you is barely breaking a sweat and your maxing out at 170 bpm during a sprint. (Update: I've had interference on my Beurer HRM recently, it jumps back and forth. I'm going to use this HRM for times I'm not near anybody to avoid the interference. Otherwise I can not really use it.)

I like the fact you can change the strap to another color. Mine showed up with a white strap, with a blue strap included. Both colors wouldn't have been my choice. A neutral gray or black would have been good to include for men since both colors are too fashionable. I don't match my outfits to my watch bands. What's nice about the band though is that you can take the HRM out of the band to do a battery change in the future.

If you don't need a HRM with online capabilities, that has good features for a lower price, go with the Beurer PM 45.Get more detail about Beurer PM 45 Heart Rate Monitor Watch.

Save Soehnle 63200 Legno Digital Bath Scale


This scale would be great if it were either accurate or consistent. Sometimes I can get on/off the scale 3 times in a row and get different readings. Sometimes it DOES seem consistent, but I honestly have no idea or means of verifying. Maybe I got a lemon, but I wouldn't recommend it to others, despite it's aesthetic appeal.Get more detail about Soehnle 63200 Legno Digital Bath Scale.

Discount American Diagnostic Corporation 703LF Latex-Free Diagnostix Manual Adult Blood Pressure Sphygmomanometer with Terracotta Shading


This blood pressure cuff is extremely light, and easy to use. It is really quiet when pumping, and releasing so you concentrate on what you hear with the stethoscope. There is no sticking of the valve since there is a trigger. The trigger is extremely easy to use. It is isn't bulky. There is no tangling of the tubing. I am a nursing student and my instructor even fell in love with this cuff. It is definitely worth the money!!!Get more detail about American Diagnostic Corporation 703LF Latex-Free Diagnostix Manual Adult Blood Pressure Sphygmomanometer with Terracotta Shading.

Buying Sunny Health & Fitness Personal Digital Scale


Nowhere in the description did I see this scale displays only in kilograms. The description says maximum capacity 330lbs. That certainly would lead most to believe it displays in pounds. I don't want to do mathematical problems when I step on my scale in the morning. Although, this may be good for my brain, that wasn't the reason for my purchase. I will be returning it.Get more detail about Sunny Health & Fitness Personal Digital Scale.

Buy Polar RS200 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black)


I purchased this RS200 (red) from my health club in late Jan 2009. I read the instructions word-for-word to try to set-up the settings the way I wanted them (including date, time, etc.). It is so confusing to do these simple actions that even the fitness instructors at my health club can't explain it to me. Instead, they always set it up for me whenever it needs to be changed (due to change in time or date for daylight savings time or whatever) because it's too difficult to actually explain how to do it.

Also, I've owned the watch less than 11 months, and the battery is already low, so I have to send it in to a Polar authorized representative to get a new one. A big hassle, if you ask me, and the cost of battery replacement and insured shipping. I'm about to get onto the Polar web site to get the instructions for doing this, but if this process is anything like the instructions for using the monitor, I can tell that I'm in for trouble. I don't recommend this product.Get more detail about Polar RS200 Heart Rate Monitor Watch (Black).

Purchase Alcohawk Digital Alcohol Detector


This device keeps us informed of our blood alcohol content (BAC) to let us know when we're too impaired to drive. It works great and is easy to use. A very important purchase. If more people had the sense to use an alcohol detector, there would be fewer fatalities & arrests. Highly recommended.Get more detail about Alcohawk Digital Alcohol Detector.

Order `Nonin Onyx-2 Digital Finger Pulse Oximeter


I purchased this unit for spot checking my 2 year-old who has asthma. I chose this brand due to the good reputation of the company. It has proven to be accurate (I compared it with the unit used at the allergy office we visit), durable, and easy to use. Having such a product gives me peace of mind when my son starts to wheeze. My only complaint is that sometimes I need to reposition my son's finger a few times to get the unit to record his Sp02 and pulse.Get more detail about `Nonin Onyx-2 Digital Finger Pulse Oximeter.

Where To Buy Ohaus 2000 G X 1 G Compact Scale


I use this scale exclusively in the kitchen. It is not intended for kitchen use. One has to be very careful not to spill ingredients on it - the area under the weighing platform is accessible only with a toothpick. Lack of care will result in a short life - the works will begin to stick,signalling the end. Also it must be gently handled. I manage to get about 5 years out of mine - am on my third one as I write. The accuracy and repeatability are superb, unsurpassed in this price range. Using this scale to measure ingredients for baking result in absolutely the same quality product every time! No variation. I recommend it, but Be Careful!Get more detail about Ohaus 2000 G X 1 G Compact Scale.

Shop For ^SHOWER BENCH BATH CHAIR HEAVY DUTY BARIATRIC 550 LB


The bench came put together. The problem was no instructions on how to raise the bench. Once we figured out that the gray bands with pins were removable and the legs moved, we had the right height. It is very sturdy and I enjoy my showers now without worrying about falling.Get more detail about ^SHOWER BENCH BATH CHAIR HEAVY DUTY BARIATRIC 550 LB.

Digital Breath Alcohol Tester Review


This is great item and I'd recommend it to a friend, especially with the holiday season coming up. One thing I did note is that you need to wait between uses as the humitity from your breath seems to throw it off when used several times in a row. The instructions say to wait 45 minutes between uses and I would agree. But that said - it's VERY accurate and will save you from a DUI. And you can't beat the price.Get more detail about Digital Breath Alcohol Tester.
